Tommy Apostolos Annual Kid's Shopping Day
This year over 550 underserved children within our schools were nominated by their teachers to attend this event in order to receive much-needed winter clothing and shoes.  Due to the high number of nominations, we anticipate the need for over 400 adult volunteers.  We invite you to attend the annual shopping day as a volunteer in order to shop with a child.

The Tommy Apostolos Fund Annual Kid's Shopping Day is scheduled for Saturday, December 2nd at 5:30 a.m. at Kohl's (10375 Fairway Drive, Roseville). 

Please complete this document and bring it with you to Kohl's.

Homework and Technology
A reminder about homework and technology. Things can be recommended for additional practice or enrichment but cannot be graded or students punished (harming their grade, lunch detention, rewards given to students who do complete a homework assignment, taking away recess time, etc.) for not doing it if everyone does not have the same access to resources.  Students should have the same space, time, and opportunity to complete assignments.
